I admired heroes but became a villain

"It's just that the Hokage will be unhappy. Mr. Guo, please move aside for his advanced age. The chefs of the Anbu have prepared the best food for you."

"Whether he's happy or not is none of my business."

Guo Linglong still grumbled without giving me face, "You said you would pay me back 300 million first, but it's been a day, a whole day, and I haven't received a dime. Even a meal has to be paid by the teenagers here. He dares to come to me to settle the account? This account must be settled. If I don't see the money owed to me by that damn old man tomorrow, don't blame me for settling the account with him personally."

Although the man's words were still impolite, his tone had indeed softened a lot. Realizing that this man was more of a soft-hearted person, the Anbu ninja said while the iron was hot: "Regarding the money, although the current cash flow is still not sufficient, the Third Hokage has decided to offer a portion of Konoha's resources as collateral. Is this okay?"

"Mortgage?"

After hesitating for a while, Guo Linglong looked at the leftovers on the ground with some regret, then stood up and turned her gaze to the three protagonists again.

Haruno Sakura's eyes were already full of circles, and the cool guy wasn't much better, with a sleepwalking expression, and Uzumaki Naruto...

The boy was still confused and seemed unable to understand the situation, but Guo Linglong did not intend to explain it to him now, and just smiled.

"Calm down for a while. I'll come find you later. After all, I still owe your mother Uzumaki Kushina a huge favor. If I don't repay this favor, I won't even be able to enjoy my meal."

After saying that, Guo Linglong turned around and left with the Anbu. Uzumaki Naruto subconsciously chased after them and wanted to ask for clarification, but the Anbu used ninjutsu on the spot to raise a puff of smoke. When the smoke dissipated, Guo Linglong and the Anbu had disappeared. Even though his voice was already crying, he still couldn't find the uncle who told him the news about his parents...

After searching for an unknown amount of time, Uzumaki Naruto turned around and stared blankly at the statue of the Fourth Hokage on the Hokage Rock, quietly overlooking the Konoha Village. His thoughts were in chaos.

He had indeed imagined what kind of person his father was like during countless late nights when he was alone, but the Fourth Hokage... was completely beyond the limits of his imagination.

------------------

"Do you want to distort the world by telling them the plot in advance?"

Xia looked at Guo Linglong who had just returned from outside curiously and asked doubtfully. She had no idea what this man was doing and he had actually revealed so much important information.

"If you do this just to distort the world, then I think you will be greatly disappointed. The fantasy world has its own healing power. Distortions of this degree can be easily rounded up by oral information spoilers. We can't use spoilers to get a high score of distortion."

Facing Xia's kind advice, Guo Linglong just waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "I didn't mean to distort the plot by spoiling it. I told Uzumaki Naruto several years in advance the information that would only be known later, just to 'owe' Uzumaki Naruto a favor, that's all."

After Guo Linglong finished her calm words, Xia, who was already confused, became even more confused.

"Wait, you mean... you gave Uzumaki Naruto a huge benefit just so that you could owe him a favor? What does this mean?"

"The answer is very simple. Let me give you an example."

Guo Linglong snapped her fingers and pointed at Xia and said, "If one day, a stranger you don't know suddenly came out and said he wanted to give you a huge sum of money, what would you think?"

Hearing this, Xia said without hesitation: "This guy is greedy for my body, kill him!"

"That's right. A stranger's kindness without reason will always lead to huge and malicious suspicion... The better you treat him, the heavier the suspicion will be. Therefore, I have to owe Uzumaki Naruto a favor, and then I can let him put aside his suspicion, trust me, and accept my kindness with peace of mind.

"So…why should we be kind to Uzumaki Naruto? Will this benefit us, or our mission?"

Even though Guo Linglong had explained it to this extent, Xia still looked confused.

"People who only care about immediate benefits will never achieve great things. My previous operations are just laying the groundwork for early stage investment. If successful, I will be able to gain benefits that will make Konoha feel pain for the rest of his life."

Guo Linglong played with the teacup in her hand, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"After all, the kindness of evil people is always very valuable."

Chapter 40: Predicting the Future

Just as Guo Linglong placed her chess piece on the chessboard, the magical girls on the other side also took action.

In the base where the Fourth Kazekage was stationed in Konoha, Orochimaru, who was pretending to be the Fourth Kazekage, was looking at the magical girl Black Tea standing elegantly in front of him with interest, and said leisurely: "You mean... my identity has been exposed?"

"Someone who knows the inside story has reported it. Now the Third Hokage has learned about your plan to collapse Konoha, and he should also know that you killed the Fourth Kazekage. He will soon bring people to verify it, Mr. Orochimaru..."

In the room, Hong, who was still holding an umbrella, said calmly, "And they must have brought enough troops to capture you to verify. If this continues, the fact that you killed the Kazekage and used the Sand Village will be exposed, and you will be surrounded by the two major ninja villages. It can be said that there is no hope, unless..."

"unless?"

"Work with me."

Faced with the mad scientist who kills people without blinking an eye, Hongcha remains as elegant as ever.

"At this point, you can't find anyone else except me who can solve your predicament and even turn the tables on your opponent."

"Cooperation, what can you use to cooperate with me?"

Orochimaru said noncommittally: "My subordinates include the Sound Village, the Sand Village, and the Three Ninjas. But you have an unknown origin and you come here and say you want to cooperate with me. What do you have?"

"This magic is beyond the comprehension of this world. If it's not enough, then add me..."

Hongcha covered her chest with her hands neither servile nor arrogant, and looked at Orochimaru and said: "The plan has already been in my mind, what I lack is just some coordination... coordination enough to take down that demon man."

"interesting."

The 'Fourth Kazekage' stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips. He asked the magical girl in front of him with a playful look, "Before you explain your so-called plan to me, I want to ask you a question. Why are you willing to risk offending Konoha to cooperate with me? Just the reason of 'to eliminate the annoying enemy' will not reassure me."

"It doesn't matter what the reason is..."

Although it would only take some time to explain, Hongcha said without giving any face: "Either cooperate with me and escape from the current predicament, or reject me and be torn into pieces by the wrath of the Hokage. Now make your choice, although..."

I'm not going to give you a choice.

----------

A day only has 24 hours, but some people feel that time flies by in a flash, while others feel that the days pass by like years.

Guo Linglong was undoubtedly the former. He looked at Xia, who looked like she was living a miserable life, and shook his head, saying, "Being so anxious is not good for your skin."

"You're new here, and you have no idea what kind of magical girl Black Tea is."

Xia gritted her teeth and said, "While we are still enjoying ourselves, she must be secretly plotting something somewhere. Although her magic appears to be auxiliary resurrection magic, from the performance, it is more like foresight. Several sisters said that their every move seemed to be 'predicted' by Hongcha, and she played with them at her fingertips."

"I can predict the future to this extent... I can do that too."

Guo Linglong said noncommittally while flipping through a book on ninjutsu.

"You too?"

Seeing Xia's suspicious expression, Guo Linglong chuckled and said, "Predicting the future may seem mysterious, but it is actually based on existing clues to infer what might happen in the future. For example... in a little while, Kakashi will come in and complain to me that he stood in front of Lin's tombstone all day and got nothing."

“That’s only natural.”

Kasumi rolled her eyes and said, "After all, this is the only false information you gave me yesterday. Uchiha Obito doesn't go to Lin's tombstone every day."

"I haven't finished talking yet. Anyway, Kakashi will approach me while complaining, and then stop when he is within about a meter of me, and then something will happen."

Unconsciously, Xia's appetite was aroused and she quickly asked, "What will happen?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe it's a bright light, maybe an explosion, anyway, an unusual event that can attract people's attention. At this time, Kakashi will also move and take out a kunai to stab my chest."

Looking at Guo Linglong who looked as if it was a matter of course, Xia asked blankly: "What kind of a miracle is this? Is it because you lied to him?"

"This is the result I got based on the information I got before, the current factors, and a little imagination."

Guo Linglong held up five fingers: "The information I have is 'Magical girls have magic that can disguise their identities and magic that can control people without them noticing' and 'Miss Red Tea fully understands the fragile trust between Konoha and me'. The current factors are 'The Third Hokage is about to investigate Orochimaru' and 'Kakashi has been in contact with me recently'. Combining this information and factors, and letting your imagination run wild, you can roughly see the shape of the future. The so-called foreknowledge of the future... is nothing more than this."

As Guo Linglong's voice gradually became quieter, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"come in."

Guo Linglong leisurely took the hand of Xia, who was still trying to understand the information in his words, and placed a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago in the girl's hand, then closed it. The next moment, the door was pushed open, and Kakashi walked in with a stack of papers.

The expression on his masked face couldn't be seen, but Kakashi's dead fish eyes clearly revealed resentment.

"Mr. Guo, your story is really wonderful. It made me wait in front of Lin's tombstone for a whole day and night. How should I settle this account?"

"That depends on how much money you have prepared for me now... Is that a banknote in your hand?"

"No, just the title deed."

Kakashi pushed more than a hundred deeds in front of Guo Linglong and sighed, "With these two hundred deeds in hand, you will own half of Konoha Village's real estate. I think it's not too much to charge you three hundred million taels. For the remaining amount, I'll ask you to give me more time."

"enough."

Guo Linglong put away the deed with great satisfaction, then took out another one and handed it to Kakashi: "I wonder if this deed to the Ninja Tool House can help you to calm your resentment?"

"Although I am a ninja, not a stubborn samurai, do you think you can deal with me with just a few bucks?"

Kakashi said this, but his body honestly stepped forward, ready to take the deed.

Suddenly, a sudden gust of wind blew open the window on Guo Linglong's left. The wind was so strong that even the window could not withstand it and broke away and shattered on the ground.

Just as Guo Linglong turned his head to look at the unusual movement, Kakashi moved. A kunai with dazzling electric light stabbed straight at Guo's chest at the moment he lost his vision. But after the attack, Kakashi discovered that Guo Linglong had put on a gauntlet on his right hand and was blocking his chest.

In this moment that seemed to stretch infinitely, Kakashi stared at Guo Linglong in a daze. The man's defense was not due to his extraordinary reaction speed, nor was it an instinctive self-defense. It was more like... he had known that he would attack like this, so he was waiting for him there all morning.

In the blink of an eye, Kakashi's kunai couldn't stop its speed and hit the gauntlet directly, then shattered into pieces.

Xia, who had been watching the future develop little by little in the direction that Guo Linglong had described, could no longer even utter an exclamation of surprise. She could only look at her master as if he were a monster... and her mind replayed those casual words.

The so-called predicting the future is nothing more than this.

Chapter 41: Expected Betrayal

"Let me guess."

In the room, Guo Linglong, who was surrounded by black energy, gradually turned into armor that covered her whole body. Looking at Kakashi who failed in his sneak attack, she said calmly: "Did the Third Hokage ask you to come?"

"It's not just me."

Kakashi looked at Guo Linglong with some surprise, as if she already knew something. Then he whispered, "Hokage-sama has just gone to the Fourth Kazekage. He has confirmed the identity of the Kazekage and confirmed that the Kazekage is not Orochimaru in disguise. He also saw through the truth that you are unable to detonate the detonating tags in the village. So Hokage-sama ordered the Anbu to issue an order to capture you. If they cannot capture you, they will kill you on the spot. So just surrender. You can't escape. We are surrounded."

"To be honest, I did intend to escape before."

Guo Linglong looked at Kakashi who was gradually retreating with amusement, then raised her hand, and a golden nameless fire emerged, burning the deed next to her.

"After all, I still have the magic power I earned by spending 10 million RMB. If I just use it to escape, it's enough. But since you've sent so much backup magic power to my door, if I don't give you a positive response... that would be too lame."

There was a huge explosion, and the wooden house twisted and deformed under the impact of the huge magic power, and then exploded. At the moment the wooden house collapsed, Kakashi's body was blown out of the wooden house like a cannonball and hit a tree heavily.

What on earth is this chakra!!!

Kakashi felt pain all over his bones and muscles, and covered his buzzing ears with an expression of disbelief.

When the Sharingan had no effect on Guo Linglong before, he already knew that there was no chakra in her body, but the golden energy that just burst out from Guo Linglong's body...

No, is that overbearing thing really chakra? !

Click, click...

The sound of wood breaking rang out one after another. A man covered in heavy steel and iron armor walked out of the wooden house slowly, stepping on the broken wood. Then, more than a dozen ninjas jumped out from the dense forest around them and surrounded Guo Linglong.

"Shikaku! Plan A has failed. The enemy's strength is beyond imagination. Abandon Plan B and capture them on the spot. Execute Plan C!"

Kakashi's call was quickly responded to. Konoha's senior ninja Nara Shikaku braked to a stop, and after a glance, his good friends Akimichi Chouji and Yamanaka Inoichi spread out in tacit understanding and surrounded Guo Linglong in an equilateral triangle formation.

"The Ino-Shika-Chou of Konoha? Interesting. I'll use you to test the magic I've been studying lately."

The man took a step forward with interest, and the surging golden magic power cast a thin layer of gold on the outside of his heavy armor.

"Unfortunately, this time it's not the Pig, Deer, or Butterfly's general attack."

Together with Nara Shikaku and the other two, Kakashi bit his thumb and then, together with Ino-Shika-Chou, slapped his bloody palm to the ground. The next moment, a purple light streak quickly connected the four people standing in the four directions, and then four light curtains slowly rose up and turned into a large square box, completely locking up Guo Linglong.

"This Four Purple Flame Formation is a barrier that even the Third Generation cannot escape from. If you touch it rashly, your body will be burned by the flames. You have nowhere to escape, and we have elites coming behind us... How about you consider surrendering?"

In response to Kakashi's repeated attempt to persuade him to surrender, the man raised his middle finger to the sky. Although no one knew what this middle finger meant, the meaning was certainly conveyed.

"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"

Konoha's blue beast Might Guy was the first to rush to Guo Linglong. With his body already trained to the extreme, he kicked Guo Linglong's head with great force. Before the attack even reached Guo Linglong's ears, he could already hear the air whimpering due to the brute force...

Guo Linglong subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the next moment Might Guy, who was still a full meter away from her, suddenly disappeared, and the next moment she was kicked hard in the neck.

"Strange... I remember that I should be immune to illusions?"

Guo Linglong, half of her body was blasted into the ground by the huge force, muttered as she looked at the female ninja who was facing her with her hands in seals. It was this woman who had used illusion to confuse her vision, making her think that Might Guy was not close to her yet, causing her to react a step slowly.

"I can also perform genjutsu that doesn't rely on affecting the opponent's chakra. Don't underestimate female kunoichi!"

As she spoke, Kurenai had already formed three hand seals, and finally spit out a huge fireball from her lips, hitting Guo Linglong, who was half buried in the ground and unable to move. Unfortunately for Kurenai, her fire escape had no effect on the strange armor. The only effect it had was to allow Might Guy to fly high up with the rising air flow, and directly open the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu: Life Gate in the air. His right leg burned with green energy and chopped down like a battle axe.

And it's not over yet. Under the cover of flames, Sarutobi Hiruzen's son Asuma Sarutobi held two chakra knives that could cut through iron like mud from the left and drew out long blades of light to cut straight towards Guo Linglong's neck. On the right was Orochimaru's former apprentice Anko Mitarashi. At this moment, she formed seals with her hands and summoned two giant snakes to tightly bind Guo Linglong's only two hands that could still move.

This is Konoha, is this the power of the jonin...

Guo Linglong closed the only eye that could still move, and at this moment his magic Supreme Alchemy was activated as he wished. The golden nameless fire that spewed out burned the deed sent by Kakashi and continuously converted it into energy.

Let's use them to test the limits of my alchemy power.

------------

Just as Guo Linglong was ready for battle, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was standing in the distance, looking down silently at the dust rising into the sky above the Four Purple Flame Formation. However, just as he was about to get closer to see more clearly, a strange noise came from behind him.

"Will you stand out and attract the attention of all the ninjas so that you can attack me in the chaos?"
